Best app for following the FIFA 2010 World Cup

The title says it all, the WC starts on friday and I still havn't foud a really great app for following the action. So I'd love to hear your suggestions.
Oh and BTW, does anyone know whether there will be any android friendly live streaming going on?

i have installed it but need to wait till friday to see if the streaming works

I think I'll stick with fotmob.
About live streaming. I read that yamgo is going to offer it. Is this a UK only service? I can not watch live channels via yamgo in Slovenia.

I'm hearing that TVCatchup.com will be providing an Android version of their web service before the WC starts. Will be a good addition.

Pocket WCup is no doubt the best http://pocketnow.com/software-1/follow-the-world-cup-with-pocket-wcup-for-android

I'm hearing that TVCatchup.com will be providing an Android version of their web service before the WC starts. Will be a good addition.

Yes we will and maybe even releasing this week, so watch our twitter and forums for news.

After reviewing and downloading around 7 apps, I think 2010 World Cup is the best available. http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.luke.worldcup2010

i am using goal.com's app, and very nice it is too, updates very quickly and the photos are brilliant too.

I've got the perfect solution: go to www.proxy.org
enter the url: http://m.tvcatchup.com
select a proxy from a GB website: like action-acces.org(GB, Glype)
For watching do the same use a proxy
edit:
It worked twice watching so its not a quite stable solution

Any suggestions?

But Adobe Flash is available for Android OS 2.2 and up.
And we have 2.2 already, well some do

Is there a Hulu app? I was trying to go to their webpage but it told me the mobile view is not enabled or something to that extend.

I think there is but I'm Not talking about hulu and I believe revealing the name of the site is against the rules here but lets just say I was getting beautiful buffering pretty much flawless really on a two hour movie the phone had to catch up twice and that only took litetally 5 seconds and I was back to watching perfect sink between video and audio I look at this phone like I look at laptops capable of so much awesomeness if given the right hardware and software

LOL but do you think there will be lag in the streaming?

If any lag it's going to be on the carrier side of it. [Say, when you use 2GB the first two days on Tmobile and go to Edge speeds or the same with Verizon]
Not the server side.

Depending, obviously, but was more of a joke than anything. I'm pretty pumped for this though. I know some people are going to be bummed about it being a personal music locker essentially - for the forseeable future - but being able to put up a ton of music is what I really want.
And 20k? That's stupid big. Just hope it's not too long of a wait. Lucky XOOMers.

I'm sure it won't take XDA long to find a way for all to use it.
Also, while it would be good for Android to have a better competition vs iTunes....
How many music stores do we really need in this world?

True. Should be interesting. Should be lots of other interesting stuff announced / showcased as well. Lucky attendants!

I downloaded the music app from the market just now. It's the same music app that leaked on here a couple weeks ago. I also signed up for my beta pass. I am patiently waiting just like I did for the google voice pass.

just put in for the beta...dling music app now

Does anyone know if there is FLAC support? If not Subsonic still wins (I was hoping to be able to turn off that subsonic server!)

FYI, just found this on Gizmodo:
http://ca.gizmodo.com/5800490/google-will-remove-your-music-from-its-cloud-if-it-infringes-on-copyrights
Via: Gizmodo
Word from Google IO is that Google Music will delete user MP3s, if the copyright holder has a legitimate claim against their music being on the server. And it will use the same backend tech to do so as YouTube.
For end users, this means that album/song leaks and pirated music will not be tolerated. And though it seems like it will be difficult to distinguish what's pirated and what's not, Google will probably use that same analysis tech they use for playlists to verify you have the right to upload that track to Google Music (spectral analysis and/or watermarks could expose rips from different sources). And that means if you've happened to download a leak or any unauthorized rip from the internet, then uploaded it to Google Music, it could be taken down.
And not that Google is wrong for doing so, but that will kill the appeal of Google Music for some people out there. [Google IO]

Indeed. Not really surprised though. Will be interesting.

Agreed. The market won't even let me download the app to test it.

What the hell is, "requisite playback support" anyway?

Nothing, it's total bull****.

This makes no sense since the Nexus S is pretty much the same phone and Gingerbread isn't a requirement...

Just ask a friend with a Nexus S to post the apk. I bet it will work just fine on the Epic.

Google Music

Has anyone else gotten their invites to the google music beta? it's pretty cool! I only wished we could use it with the stock music app. The Google Music app is kind of lame... but still love the fact that I can listen to all my 60gigs worth of music on my EVO where ever I am

are they still taking requests for invites? I completely missed that whole unveiling.

I signed up the first day. Still haven't got it

Maybe they reached their beta limit.

Has anyone tried any non-DRM material yet? Curious if they've locked that down the way they claimed they would. I lost all my mp3 DRM keys in a tragic boating accident.

I'm still waiting for my invite as well.

I don't own a Xoom but my brother does. A quick trick to get a fast invite was just to log into my Google account on his xoom and download an app from the market. That way it registered as me being a Xoom user So, just find xomeone that has a Xoom, log into your Google account for a minute on their Xoom, download some random app on the market and remote your Google account for their Xoom works like a charm. Three other friends have used my brother's Xoom to get a quick invite to the service.
